Do you shoot .357 magnum as well as .38 special?

[El Pablo]

Man I borrowed a .38 lever from a buddy and shot it suppressed and it was crazy awesome. I forgot until you mentioned it and now I want one again. Daaaangit

It’s Hollywood quiet.

If memory serves, it's quieter than a suppressed blackout bolt gun with subs.

Mine is really quiet with my obsidian 45. With the Wolfman on it… even better.

We always load the 6 shooters with 5 good rounds and one shot round.
You will know if you are flinching and this can break you of it.

Wife and son never flinch so no reason a grown man should flinch.
Practice practice .

I flinch from noise, especially indoors. Double up on hear protection and I’m good.

I don't shoot mine much but when I do it's usually 357.
But it's got an 8-3/8 barrel with a full underlug so it's a dreamboat to shoot.View attachment 308503

Nice!!!!!!!!

Mostly 38’s, but I haven’t found 38’s that my Henry will feed reliably so I load 357 primarily for the rifle.

I’ve carried a revolver exclusively for about the last 3 years, but I hate to say that I’m gradually starting to carry a Glock 30s. I’ve never felt undergunned with a j frame Smith, but with the craziness going on in the world, I do feel better with a 45 and the ability for faster reloads.

It's been several years since I've loaded and shot .38 Spl. but this thread has given me the urge to maybe start back up.

Digging around this morning I've got a 3lb. coffee can and a half of brass, a set of dedicated .38 Spl. Redding dies (that I'd forgotten I owned), W231 and Unique powder, Winch. SP primers and some jacketed 125 gr and 158 gr bullets.

I wouldn't mind having a dedicated .38 Spl. revolver with either a 4" or 6" barrel but I'll be shooting the .38's through my 4" Ruger .357 GP100.

When I carried one for a living, yes. Our agency insisted upon duty rounds for all training.

You shoulda started at Piedmont in the early 80’s. For qualifications we shot at beer cans the Chief threw off of the old bridge on Morgan Rd. We supplied our own ammo.
